I just saw the MV for "Girlfriend"-- when did Avril Lavigne become like THAT?! (All pretty/girly and with back up dancers!).
It was very strange hearing the song and seeing her like that...
You can check out a picture and the video here:
Hollywood Tuna BlogThe song is catchy but the lyrics are atrocious.
What do you guys think?...especially when you compare her to when she first came out.

its really hard in hollywood not to sell yourself out inorder to make money or become popular ... so hypocritical of her tho.. playin on that punk rock band thing.. being rude to ppl like kelly clarkson.. and now she's doing the same sh1t they are doing..

I listened to this song/watched the video the other day, and honestly I'm surprised I sat through the whole thing. I think the badness is actually comparible to Paris Hilton's debut song. Which sucks because unlike Paris Hilton, Avril Lavigne has got some actual talent. She just sucks at showing it. And didn't she just get married recently? Yeah, time to stop acting like an eight-year-old.
Ugh. ><; I'll avoid commenting any further as not to offend someone...

man what is her deal. she claimed she had that whole punk rock thing going on but she just looks like a pop-princess/diva to me. her music video is annoying and she's just annoying in general. so she's changed. but she just doesn't seem like a real and true artist to me. she's just faking herself in order to be accepted. i dont really know who her true self is because of all these radical changes.

Forgot to add:
Doesn't the song seem a bit "Hey Mickey-ish"?
Also, Avril looked awkward dancing. I wonder if she felt uncomfortable doing that stuff. Hehe...

Mar 1 2007, 04:23 PM
what happened to her "i hate you i hate the world i'm so punk" attitude/image? i can understand if a singer goes through different image phases but to change from that to a pop princess look are exactly the opposite. i loved her song "complicated" and "my happy ending" though i just had to add that

lol is she dancing at the end? hahaha
I don't like this song, or the vid..

Mar 1 2007, 05:06 PM
"She's like so whatever"
o.O...... She reminds me of a... 'punky' valley girl for some odd reason ahaha.
I kind of actually like the song. Maybe because I'm just listening to it for the second time; I know I'll get sick of it pretty soon.
Oh well. The song's catchy; the video's kind of cute.
But yeah-she's married now. She shouldn't act like.. a kid :T
I like her hair though- she's prettier, IMO, than how she was before.
The dancing part she did made me laugh ahaha.
Her pants are so short though o_o and fishnet stockings?? x__X.
I prefer Hilary Duff.

ew. i hate this song. so uber annoyingggggggg...... her last album was so good though.. ughhhh hopefully her next title song will be better?

Mar 1 2007, 05:39 PM
Ehhh it was an interresting video. I felt kinda bad for the "girlfriend" who got hit in the head with the golfball heheh.
I feel like she should be more....mature? after getting married. LOL guess not.
extrapetite
Mar 1 2007, 06:39 PM
i think she looks better now... i hated it when she was being "punk" because i felt like she was trying too hard and blah...
you could compare her transformation to gwen stefani
just out of curiosity? why do you guys say she needs to be more mature b/c she is married? being young at heart isn't a bad thing....

Mar 1 2007, 06:50 PM
i don't like the song...it sounds very obnoxious to me and it seems like it would belong in a teen movie or something, lol
I only saw a clip of the video, but it was really weird seeing her that way. Singers these days are all changing their appearances to appeal to a greater audience, so I'm not surprised she looks like that now. Soon, she'll ditch her pop-rock or w/e genre she sings and become pop.

^You didn't like the vid?
It was cute...but Avril with red hair > with black hair (IMO) It didn't make me laugh or anything though...
I like the song, it's quite catchy.
(
I just noticed that this video features Avril w/ three hair colors and Christina Aguilera's "Candyman" video features her w/ three different hair colors too.....o_0)
edit: I'm so tired of people saying they miss her old image or w/e When she had her old image, everyone was like "OMGG POSER!!! SHE THINKS SHE'S SO PUNK/EMO" and now she's apparently a "sell-out" ?
ohJOY
Mar 1 2007, 10:16 PM
For me... this song pales in comparison to the songs from her debut album "Let Go". "SK8et Boy" was 10x better than this one. She isn't my favorite artist, but I admit some songs are catchy =P

Mar 1 2007, 11:20 PM
she's a lot hotter now.
meh dont like the song, the vid is kinda funny though : ]
i think she's grown up a lot. I think her "im punk" stage was mainly a teenager kinda thing.
now she's a grown adult so she flaunting what she has.
meh i dont really see whats wrong with it.

She definitely is flaunting" it in her new vid.

I actually like her better this way. This image suits her better. I mean, who really believed that Avril Lavigne was some hardcore punk rocker? I'm just glad she gave that a rest.

Isn't the guy in the MV so cute!!

Ugh... He's too cute.
(Btw, I found it funny that the guy and "punk" avril in the end are practically wearing the same clothes...)

The chorus is somewhat catchy, but overall, not my favorite of Avril.
HeffyEnd
Mar 2 2007, 10:25 PM
Wow.. What a horrible song.
I'm not a fan, but I think her second album seemed like it was her most mature. She wasn't doing too much of the fake punk, dressing like a boy thing like with her first album. Now she's like a preppy fake punk? I don't get it. That video was just scary. I thought since she got married she'd mature more with her sound/look, but sweet Jesus I was wrong.
Azngel
Mar 2 2007, 10:52 PM
i like the song and the video.
i can see why you guys would say shes a sell out but i dont think its like that. she was just a teen when she first bursted onto the scene and we all have our awkward stage where we dont know where we belong during that time and always act rebellious just for the hell of it. shes just really discovered who she is now. nothing wrong here. remember christina when she had those black highlights and the dirrty song. look at her now.

I liked her old style better.

yeah. i know! T__T;
i saw the mv on mtv earlier.. and i was literally... "O________O" with jaw hung open. like, WHEN SHE DID BECOME LIKE THAT?! LOL.
but yeah, i like the song too. i just cant believe she became a pop artist in a POP. T_T; lmao.
but idk. i think i like her better with the punk/rock style. :/

I agree! When I saw him, I was like, "he`s so hottt!"
The song is really... catchy? I kind of like it, lol. I like her old stuff better though. & she looks so different as a blonde.
I heard the chorus of the Japanese version. I laughed... ALOT. xD

She got MUCH prettier !
OH and the part where she dances...
My eyes were like => O_O

Now that you mention it, it does.
Mm, yeah, she has changed a lot.
I miss her older songs. But this is just one song..
Its not like all her songs from now on are going to be like this one.
I think she looks prettier.
:x
Not a fan of her clothing choices, though.

Mar 3 2007, 11:16 PM
i was so shocked when i saw this video ..
she is a hypocrite but i understand that she is an adult now ,
and she's married so she can't stay in that stage forever .
i love her blonde and pink hair with those shorts and knee high socks : D
but i was so BLAH when she started dancing and stripping that guy ..
but it was a funny video and okay song ^^
hseliz
Mar 3 2007, 11:17 PM
i dont really like the song. she looks very 'princess-ey' i dont know.. i prefer her old self. this image is very cheeky and doesnt seem to suit her. and the song's so annoying. pretty catchy but annoying. but i like the fact that she wear skirts already. ^^"

Mar 4 2007, 02:29 PM
i have to admit that her stuff from when she started out weren't as bad as people make it. the lyrics were better and the music were somewhat better. at least they werent catchy in an utterly stupid way.
yes..this song is so great for school dances and proms, but most the songs played at school dances and proms are bad but at least freakable.
like people said before...she not only did not mature as an artist but sunk lower than when she started.
w4termelon
Mar 4 2007, 03:24 PM
i like this song, very catchy.
But the way she turned from mature to immature phase is totally weird.
and i thought she would do something more grow up.

Is it a trend for an artist to have 3 different haircolors in a music video nowadays?
Gingging8
Mar 4 2007, 06:10 PM
It's interesting... haha. Catchy. Her dancing kinda of threw me off.
"so whatever" heh.
Did you guys hear her Japanese, Mandarin, or Spanish version of this song? ...O_o;; I think she should've worked on her pronunciation more.
azzer
Mar 4 2007, 09:45 PM
errr yeah... the mandarin version was especially bad
i heard there are also going to be more versions... portuguese, hindi, and french, for example. why????
